I have been playing love letter for a while now
I have been playing love letter for a while now, love letter is great, it can be used as a good starter to an evening to get people in the boardgaming mood or to play when you have a few minutes with friends.... anywhere, even down the pub or at the office.this is the closest to that I've come to since...this is basically Chicken in a card game for 2-4 players, firstly you pick the character the team wants to play with, there are 4 to choose from and each has different abilities but you only play with one per round for everyone. you lay the character out on the table with his 6 equipment cards and then shuffle the 13 monster cards.then each player takes it in turn to either pass the round or draw a monster card. if they draw a card they remain in play for the round and then decide if they wish to place the monster into the dungeon or to take it out of the dungeon and remove one of the 6 pieces of equipment from the hero making the hero weaker.if all players pass the last player left has to venture into the dungeon with any remaining equipment the hero may have. if he kills all the monsters in the dungeon he takes a scroll, If he gets two he wins the game, if he fails he takes a wound, if he takes two then he is out of the game.this may not sound that exciting on paper but basically it comes down to trying to remember what you have put in the dungeon with what equipment is left and if you take too much away then you may find that its you going in with nothing more than a torch and a prayer....this game is quick, easy to learn and ultimately fun to play as you try to judge what each of your friends has done. on its own this game is fantastic and I cant recommend it enough it comes in a small box and can also be played almost anywhere....is it as good as love letter?On face value, no. love letter is easier to carry, cheaper, quicker and even more simple..... however since they are both so cheap my recommendation is to buy both. why choose between the chocolate gateaux and the cheesecake when you can get both

Depends on the players, Can be a great Ice Breaker
This game is only as exciting as you make it. Here you have a typical micro game that plays fairly quickly and which can be a lot of fun. Players first choose one of four role playing characters and then bid on taking that character into the "dungeon" and working their way through a stack of enemies (represented by a monster deck). The chosen character starts off with 6 pieces of equipment but the bidding process could mean that the eventual winner will have to tackle the dungeon with fewer pieces of equipment.

Everyone else loves it. (But I don't).
I've given this game 4 stars based more on its popularity within the gaming community than on my own experience with it. Personally I found it to be a little too simple and random for my tastes; but, as I said, every forum post I read about it is full of praise, so I'll happily concede that I'm wrong, and this game is a goodun.

This is a very good game. Good value
This is a very good game. Good value, the components are lovely and interesting twists with the different character types. Plenty of room for sudden, miraculous wins or defeats. I think what holds it back from being really superb is that it feels like the challenge is a fairly linear striking the balance between risk and reward. There isn't the cleverness of - say - Love Letter.

Great warm up game.
I have played this game a few times now, first with a friends copy after which I enjoyed so much I bought my own. Rounds don't last long and with the player elimination expect they get shorter as the game goes on. Ideal as a first game to play before you start playing a longer\more complex game. Easy to understand and play, but fun enough to keep it interesting for repeat plays!

Fun in the Dungeon.
I enjoy this game, giving you a similar fun feel as games like Skull. The idea is to bluff, and lull people into a false sense of security. Do you enter the dungeon or not? playing one more card can be a little tense.Enjoyable with a small group.
